Adoption

The Animal Services Centre usually has a selection of homeless cats and dogs available for adoption.

Our staff are available to assist you with any questions you may have and provide as much information as possible about our pets. We have a great deal of expertise on hand.

Adopting a pet is a big step and commitment in your life. You will be choosing a companion that will spend the next decade or more with you. We urge you to spend time with the animal and to make sure it is a suitable match for your home and lifestyle. Our adoption procedures are designed to help place pets in the right homes.

Choosing the right pet

Think carefully about what you and your family want from a pet - a quiet companion, an active playmate, a family friend? Every breed of dog and cat has unique characteristics and each individual pet is different. When choosing a pet, ask yourself these questions:

• How much time do I have to spend caring for my pet?
• Do I want an active or passive pet?
• How much of my income can I spend on a pet?
• Am I a patient person?
• Why, exactly, do I want a pet?
